Dafresh:

You're a big liar can you swear that those lands wasn't approved

If your brothers or sisters have approval plans from Govt, this is time to take the Govt to court .

Do not come here with emotions

playin ignorance in nigeria will cost you alot....

TUTU147:
You are right and all this happens because the government has refused to deal with such staff.

You are partly correct; it also happens because many of us have developed penchant for doing the wrong things. We grew up in a disorderly society and we get used to doing things the wrong ways believing nobody will do anything or that nothing can happen to us, or that our society is warped and compromised and we can also buy our ways out of troubles we create for ourselves.
We should always bear in mind that illegality will always remain illegality. The wrong we do can only remain dormant and unvisited until someone dogged and resolute comes into the equation.

I have a question sir.....

Who sold the land to them?

Can anybody buy land im such area without government

The man is blind and stupid for seeing powerline and buying land under it. Very daft fellow.

very blind indeed. Under powerline is a high risk.

TUTU147:
Building on government land and building on unapproved land is a serious offence,it is not only in lagos state.I am an igbo man but I don't support the act of building on unapproved land.Some build on water way causing serious harvock to the street.The only area I see some kind of a maltreatment on a perticular tribe is the fact that government don't go after the chiefs and obas selling the government land to innocent buyers.How many of the criminals selling the government land have been prosocuted.My advice to my igbo brothers is to stop building in lagos or anywhere outside south east or south south for now, because nigeria is not as it use to be.May God Almighty give the victims the mind to bear the lost because it is not easy losing all your building like that.

The rule in buying land is Caveat Emptor. Buyers beware.
It is your duty to do your due diligence.
Those who sold land to them are still in that area, they didn't deny. Why can't those who bought land arrest them?

As for you saying particular tribe is being maltreated, that is your problem. I guess you were in coma when Soludo was demolishing houses in Anambra. If you think you get craze, come try am for Lagos. It is better you stay in your place and be building on government land there.

adamusuleiman1:

Don't underestimate how foolish people can get. I still corrected one yesterday that claimed that himself and his brother got permit from local government to build along a power line right of way. He doesn't even know that something called a right of way existed.

Local government
Na burial ground?

tsdarkside:


yeah,goverment will give you permit and still return to demolish your property....

do you even understand in that case,you can drag the goverment to court and win....??

you have no excuse....
stfu and freakin stay in your south east....!!

Werey go court nha

Whether them deh use land documents do building approval

tete7000:
The problem with Nigeria is that those in government offices can use legitimate government papers to issue you an illegitimate approval, especially when you are desperate to have such approvals. I was once issued a vehicle licence by an agent only for me to realise it was fake when I approached licensing office the following year to have it renewed, the same thing applies to the first driver's license I had, I discovered it was fake when I tried to renew it. For those two documents I needed to go through the right channel determined to do whatever it takes to get the original the second time.

^^^
I hate this agent nonsense.

For several years I would go the bank and endure all sorts of crazy delays to renew my vehicle licence. It was always one story after the other - 'the portal is down', 'we don't have licence printing paper' etc. I hate using 'agents' for anything and so I endured all this rubbish...until one by one, the banks stopped renewal of drivers licences...and I was forced to use an agent. Somehow the delays are fewer with an agent...and mysteriously, they never run out of licence printing paper. But...the agent never issues an official receipt for payments made and the money paid is always higher than the 'official' charge printed on the licence. One of these days I'll head to the licencing office to battle it out with them on why something as simple as vehicle licence renewal cannot be done by the vehicle owner through a bank. Dem take 'agent' swear for Nigeria?

tete7000:
Ours is a dog eats dog society where everyone is lying in wait to feast on other person's ignorance without minding the consequences to that person.

That is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Those omonile are supposed to be picked up also

The woman (Francesca James) said they visited initially, it was at block level, they stopped them, they did not answer and refuse to stop. They continued working.

Visiting again, they realised that the owners of the building have now raised the building up from block level. She said maybe the builders think that they were above the law....

This is one of the reasons why they were trying to bribe as they knew they had no case in court to stop any demolition.

mfm04622:

Just ignorant.

I was shown a place that was within the setback for a powerline. Because i knew, i refused. Yet, others were buying and developing such plots. When a government come that insist on demolishing the place, we will be blaming Govt

That exactly is what happens in Lagos. No observance of setback rules. Before any infrastructure construction commences, they must demolish. Houses have been built everywhere.

How do you build bypass and feeder roads to take stress of existing roads when people are building on roads right of way.

Why all of a sudden after the flawed elections Lagos now realised that properties in the streets where Igbos dominate has one issue or the other and now the Tinubu led Federal govt has asked the FHA to go to festac and demolish properties there,simply because a certain people has most of the properties there.
I can assure you that Igbos are very tough people and in difficult conditions,they strive better and there is always positivity in every situation. It is now motivating a lot of Lagos Igbos whom use to think that they where at home with the cowardly Yorubas, to now start investing imassively back home. I got to Akwa last month and it was a massive construction site,meaning more money and employment for home boys.Thats exactly the way to go.
I am sure Igbos got the message sent by Yoruba authorities and at the appropriate time they will be paid back.

if you cannot read,ill help you!
Did Tinubu contest for an election in 2021 when notices were served!! Some were served before 2016. Was Tinubu president? Im almost certain you’re likely an illiterate and you cannot be reasoned with.bye bye

This was houses being demolished in 2022 in Ikorodu area of Lagos. Because most of the owners were Yorubas, there was no outrage like we are seeing now. No victim mentality like we are seeing now. Tinubu wasn't the president as as well..

Welcome to Lagos where you can buy land with family papers and you'd be asked to go and get a CofO with it. God help you it is not govt.land.

In Awka where you are, Soludo demolished houses built on spaces for public infrastructure.
If you build rubbish there, Soludo will demolish it.

Of course, they have no certificate of occupancy. If they did, FHA won't be able to demolish the houses.

The land were sold to them by Omo oniles who just issue them some Awori family receipts with word of mouth promise that all is okay

adamusuleiman1:

You heard what the woman in the video said. Luckily, the woman is not Yoruba. The woman said they visited a few weeks before to mark some houses and a particular building that was at foundation level had now been raised up. That is foolishness of the highest order.

all these are assumptions until they ho to court then the truth will come out.

who will spend billions on mouth assurance?


Something is not right somewhere and it will be exposed in due time.

Why not approach your state licensing office, those agents are mostly fake, they manufacture and print their own papers. Go straight into vehicle licensing office, don't allow anyone stop you on your way in. It is better to tip someone right inside if they are proving difficult than patronise an agent with 'no link' to government office.

If you are stupid enough to buy land without verifying it, that is your problem. You verify land before you buy, not after you have bought.

The omoniles should be picked up by govt. agencies as this is pure fraud. Selling what you obviously know doesnt belong to you by playingbonnthe ignorance of the buyer or has fraud changed.because omoniles are involved?

You read the whole thing and you still find it hard to understand. Not all lands can be built upon for the sake of sustainable development. Certain lands are marked green areas, others belong to different government agencies while others are setbacks from canals, drainage, water bodies or power lines. Before making any land purchase, go with a surveyor, pick the coordinates, have the land information done so as to know the land title. It’s not every land that even gets a C of O. Some gets government consent, some their titles will be regularization. STOP CLAIMING VICTIMS as nobody is out to get you

Reason just because Tinubu was defeated in Lagos during 2023 Presidential election. The reason for the revenge.

Bobloco:


You're actually the one heading for destruction for tuning every discourse into a tribal warfare.

There's no where it was stated in the entire write up the Igbos are charting a path that will lead them to alienation but here you are spewing tribal and ethnic bigotry

Go emancipate yourself from ethnic and tribal bigotry and watch your life blossom

But some Igbos here are disgusting. Eben in real life, some can be unreasonable.
It's always good to be tactical in approach. It makes you reason well before act. Those that bought those lands failed in land verification.

Appletek:


If you are stupid enough to buy land without verifying it, that is your problem. You verify land before you buy, not after you have bought.

How many people will give you title documents for independent verification. That will only happen when both parties have lawyers.
